same for GPU's. I could see it being a rather closed or impossible market, being how almost every laptop out there has some proprietary design involved. in any case, I'd be interested in hearing how different one's have managed to enhance their cooling of their notebooks!

Only laptop cooling pads, which can lower temps by ~5 degrees.

I wonder what kind of success one would or could have if they funneled outside winter air to the base of the laptop. by the time it reached it (I'm thinking of a delivery system using some dryer duct and a 120mm fan to push/pull the air up to the laptop on it's desk) it should have warmed enough that condensation shouldn't be an issue.
thoughts? -
You can also submerge your laptop in liquid nitrogen. However, it defeats the whole "laptop" part.

because they put both the CPU and HDD on the left hand side of this laptop, I find that side heating up when under heavy use, which can quickly become somewhat uncomfortable and worrisome. being fortunate to live in Canada, I can easily pump in or position my laptop for some cool air access! in fact, when I shut everything down at night and go to bed, I turn the left side towards one of our windows in our dining room (laptops on the table, plugged in) so that the draft the windows allows actually cools my laptop
and realistically, you'd not be able to use your laptop if you submersed it...you'd get some serious freezer burns any time you tried to touch it and I'm pretty sure the plastics would become so brittle that if you touched anything, it would shatter -
Let me make clear that "pumping in" is very different than placing. Getting a notebook cooler is a good Idea and they do make them! cooling by transference could create moisture problems ( I doubt but), when you take inside air and cool you do run the risk of moisture and condensation ( "Doubt real issue, but" safe vs sorry!

well, I don't think I'd connect it right to the laptop...how about the general vicinity, so everything, including the temperature of the entire laptop, would drop. which is why I was saying I'd not worry to much about condensation. hell, I could always just close the heating vent in my room and open the window wide and put on some long johns and sweaters! :laugh:
are there aftermarket laptop cpu coolers?
